West Ham vs. Bournemouth: Bilic backs deputy 'keeper Randolph

Darren Randolph will hope for better against Bournemouth when he deputizes in goal for West Ham at Upton Park on Saturday.

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic is confident Darren Randolph will have no mental scars from his previous Bournemouth nightmares when he stands in for suspended goalkeeper Adrian on Saturday.

Adrian was unsuccessful with an appeal against a three-match ban after being sent off late in last week's 2-1 defeat to Leicester City for a dangerous challenge on Jamie Vardy.

Randolph, an offseason signing from Birmingham City, is set to deputize between the posts in the Spaniard's absence and will be keen to erase his recent memories of playing against the Cherries.
